Ugh! Scholarships are just as frustrating as I remembered them. And it was a hell of a lot easier to find some when you were in highschool. Disgust

Yay for going back to college and everything but... good god this is discouraging.

by **Fate Flyer** Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:50 pm

Aww, Shades, I'm so sorry. Sad

Scholarships can be frustrating. I remember applying for some and doing projects for some back in my high school days, and I never won any of the competitions or earned even a single scholarship. It sucked. Hang in there though. We're all routing for you!!

I've decided that I'm just going to ignore everything someone posts if they tag me with a nickname. I'm sick of having to tell people not to call me by nicknames. If they can't get it from my profile, my title, or any of the threads that have the information, they can go fuck themselves.

You know how Kathryn gets when you call her Shoelace?

That's how I get when you call me Scottish. Stabby

by **Kathryn Lacey** Thu Jun 18, 2009 8:40 pm

I actually don't hate Shoelaces as much as I hate renditions of my name. I still hate Shoelaces, but yeah...

It's been a long week (I worked an 18 hour shift on Wednesday and still managed to get back to work the next day a mere 5 hours after clocking out) and I am feeling the strong urge to cut loose with some friends and doing some drinking. Unfortunately my friends are lame and doing other things like Warhammer 40k. >_>

As I told my friends, I'm suffering from a severe case of sobriety and am in desperate need for a cure. Funny Drunk

Loki, I'd have a drink with you!!. ^_^ Martini

I just spent an hour working on my post for Darker City Streets... I was soooo proud of my post, I was getting the right things out that needed to be said. Then my computer decided to crap out on me. So I lost it... *Twitch*... We need an icon of a smiley smashing a computer....

by **Fate Flyer** Sat Jun 20, 2009 10:51 pm

OH MY GOD. Shades! I cry when that sort of thing happens to me. Oh, man... That's always such a huge let down and so frustrating. I really can sympathize with you, and I'm so sorry that happened. Sad

by Shades Of Gray Sat Jun 20, 2009 10:55 pm

It's alright... *Sigh* I've got an idea of where I'm going with the post at least... It won't (hopefully) take me as long to write up. But yes, it sucks when that happens! I even saved it, but apparently the computer gave me the finger and wouldn't let me paste is... the bastard...I think I'll take a mallet to it, once I get a new one... Muhaha

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:00 pm

That's part of the reason why I always use Word to type up my posts. That way if something stupid happens with my computer due to weather or glitches or something, I'm always prepared. I have lost too many epic posts to browser funkies to not be more cautious. I'm sorry you lost your post. Losing posts always makes me lose the ambition to try it again.

I complain that I became mixed up and thought this was the Currently Doing thread. >.>;;

by Shades Of Gray Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:05 pm

That's for you, Kathryn! You're probably right, I should be typing these things up in word... but I think I'm a little too lazy, honestly. Or maybe I like the mood of the darker pages? I dunno... My fault really, sometimes we can't/don't/won't listen to the logical choice. (Which is my fault, entirely) Ah... hell...

My complaint: I get to grow my nails back! (You've got to keep them short when you're a paramedic Wink

) And... and I'm trying to get used to having them again... It's kinda strange when the last 5 years you've had them as short, stubby little things, and now they're... normal.

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:22 pm

I'm almost the exact opposite. Logic appeals to me a lot. Logic is so annoying sometimes, though. It hinders my ability to use my intuition.

Complaint: Last night, I Jonathan and I hopped offline at the same time. It was roughly 10pm. I hopped off to read more of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring because he left to watch 24. I brought the house phone into my room with me in case he decided to call, and about an hour into reading, I started thinking that maybe I should grab my cellular phone from my purse which was in the living room, but I was right in the middle of a really interesting point in the book, so I rationalized that I would grab it when I finished that chapter. Then I forgot for about an hour, but I remembered again so I decided to grab it at the end of the next chapter. Finally, around 1am, I decided it was high time to grab my cell phone just in case. I discovered he had texted me around 11:30pm to ask if I wanted a call from him. I called him to let him know I got the text, and I explained that it was in the living room, so I didn't get it until late. By that point, he was already in the middle of playing an MMORPG with his best friend who has been like... one of his few friends ever, and they've known each other since high school. Oh well...

Ugh! I always do this! I always ignore that little nagging thought in favor of logic, and my logic doesn't ever save me. This is one of the reasons why logic isn't so good. It represses psychic instincts in people. Whenever I get an off-the-wall thought and ignore it, something bad always happens. Sometimes I get that thought, and I think, "I'm only thinking this because of what happened last time." when it really turns out I thought it because it was beneficial to my future even in the smallest of ways.

At work, I usually wait at the time clock until the time to which I was scheduled if they count my drawer early. Well, I know as soon as they send me home, I'm supposed to clock out immediately and all of that bullshit, but I always figure, if they schedule me until 6pm and they send me home at 5:56pm, wtf difference should it make to them if I wait the extra four minutes?

Well, one day, I thought, "I really should just clock out right away when I get upstairs." But I rationalized that I wanted a slightly bigger paycheck. As soon as I was clocking out, the same supervisor who had already reprimanded me once for waiting, saw me clock out, and he goes, "Didn't William send you home already?" To which I was honest, and he's like, "Kathryn, you need to clock out right when they send you home." I just said, "Okay." innocently and left. If I had obeyed my intuition, I wouldn't have those two strikes against me. I'm pretty sure if he catches me one more time, he'll probably tell the managers. ._.

Intuition is a good thing!

Anyway, long nails are both a blessing and a curse, too. They're a blessing because they make the female hand look better, but they're a curse because it's way harder to take care of them. They chip and split and they never like to be the same length on all ten fingers at the same time. :: growls ::

I am so pissed right now. I just woke up to an e-mail from my mom. My "angel of a brother who never does anything wrong because I am the problem child" tattle-tailed to my parents that I had a picture of Alize liquor (just the bottle sitting on the table) on my Facebook. He said it was hallucinating liquor, that's it's $75 (it's $20!!!!), and then he had the nerve to say how he doesn't know how Tony and I are going to make it financially when we're married.

Now, mind you, he's 2 years younger than me and started drinking and "getting crunk" (as he put it) in high school, and he probably does more than just that, too. He'd even come home, back when I lived with them, off-the-wall plastered, falling over, and laughing his head off. But, of course my parent's were too blind to see that their baby was drunk! He was just being silly, like always. No, it's not him they have to worry about. It's that God damn girl who is spending all their money off at college (damn her for wanting to get an actual degree!) and who was living with her fiance before they got engaged and who is always such a disappointment!

So yeah, I was just floored when I read that. Jay, telling our parents that!? HA! Where does he get off saying that, when he's the one that parties!? Not that it's even his or their business, but I rarely ever get drunk. I may have a drink or two once a month, but I hate feeling sick from drinking too much.

Jeez.

Gah, that sucks, Fate. I know how you fell, but to a much lesser extent. Let me tell you, it's always a joy to hear your younger sister ratting you out for something minuscule or saying that you hurt her even though you never even touched her, then see your mother turn a blind eye when she finds out that little sister is dating a 23 year old at the age of 16, has had well over 10 sexual partners at the age of 16, smokes, drinks, gets high and any number of other things. It's also great fun to know that she does this, and you can't say anything because your parental units are yelling at you.

I should have never stayed in this house. I should have moved when I had the chance.

by **Fate Flyer** Sun Jun 21, 2009 12:41 pm

God, sounds like you can really sympathize, Gunneh. That's sad. I'm really sorry. It's definitely not easy, I know. Sad

That's horrible.

I bet that's frustrating. Hmm

by **Kathryn Lacey** Sun Jun 21, 2009 4:04 pm

Fate, I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. The favoritism I ever had to face was with how intelligent my older brother was. His academic intelligence, and his I.Q. were really freaking high, and I always felt like the stupid, unaware sibling... At least until my little brothers were born. Well, shit... even after that. I always wanted to be just as intelligent as him, but I never was. Intelligence isn't only measured by academics, though, and now I'm the smart one for not ruining my life and offing myself.

Gunneh... Jeeze... Your little sister sounds like she's into a lot of the stuff that I was at that age, except for the ten different sexual partners. When I was sixteen, I dated a twenty-two year old who turned twenty-three during the course of our relationship. I also started smoking and getting high again after the relationship failed.

((And yes. It is. My main fear about the nicknaming is that people are going to keep calling my Kath, Kathy, Katie, or any one of those nicknames. They're among the worst, so I'm trying to keep people from using nicknames for me at all, so it never becomes a problem.))

I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with a sixteen year old dating an older guy unless he's over twenty-five. Age isn't what's important. My current boyfriend is nine years older than me. Big deal. The smoking and drinking is made of fail, but everyone has to learn from their own mistakes. Maybe if you tried to get closer to your sister instead of just bashing everything she does, you could help her become a better person? I know it's frustrating how she acts, but she's your sister. If she ended up dying, you would probably feel horrible for not evening attempting to get closer to her and to help her.

Believe me, I know.
